Since 1997, Giulia Tamayo, a Peruvian activist for Women’s rights as well as a human rights lawyer, has documented, denounced and condemned the many serious rights violations against women with low incomes in both rural and urban communities; This also applies to violence and abuse against women working in the sanitary and public sectors, besides the risks one may run into by carrying out such inquisitive activities abroad; In 1998, her investigations regarding a campaign against cases of forced sterilisation applied to indigenous women in Peru, led to have Giulia Tamayo and her family threatened of death and some unknown people broke into her home in order to steal, manumit and alter crucial work documents and evidence; This is the reason why she is currently living in Spain, in exile, and collaborates at the Madrid-based office of Amnesty International.
